Explore Georgia - Nature Beauty around Kutaisi

Kutaisi's appeal lies in both its natural scenery and its historic and architectural monuments, particularly its unique river bridges, sacred cathedrals and monastic structures. The city is rich with regional Georgian cuisine, museums and shopping. Kutaisi also serves as a transportation hub for domestic and trans-European air travel, lending a cosmopolitan vibrancy to its small-town charm.
Bagrati Cathedral, considered by many to be one of Georgia's most impressive and significant examples of cultural heritage and medieval architecture. Its enormous presence can be seen from almost anywhere in Kutaisi. It was built between the 10th and 11th centuries under the rule of Bagrat III, of the famous royal Bagrationi family.
Martvili Canyon is located in the adjacent region of Samegrelo, just a couple of hours outside the city. Boat rides on the bright blue waters of the winding canyon are a must. The 7th century Martvili Monastery is located here. The ancient monastery was a pagan site of worship of the pre-Christian era dedicated to the fertility goddess Adgilis Deda.
Prometheus Cave, or Kumistavi Cave, is among the largest karst formations in Georgia. The cave is only a 30 minute drive from Kutaisi and offers visitors amazing walking tours year-round.
